R is for: Royalty + Rolston Reunion

Brandon ended up having to go into work for a bit this morning, so we got a later start than we expected.  We stopped at BK for lunch on our way out of town.

 

We spent the rest of the day at the Rolston Reunion.

Hinton spent a chunk of the day hanging out on the play structure
(where he could escape the dogs).

Kason, of course, was more dog friendly.

Kason also had fun watching people play Washoes.

And was excited to get to try it himself!
(If you look closely you can see the yellow washer flying through the air.)

B is for: Bat Boys, Bicycling, Blowing Bubbles, Books, Beef & Broccoli, Baking Brownies, Bubble Bath

Bat Boys!

Bagels + blueberries for breakfast.

The boys bicycled.

Blew (chased) bubbles.

 Checked out books at the library.

They were so excited to read their books they sat down
in the elevator to look at them (as we rode up only one floor).

Had beef and broccoli for dinner.

Baked brownies for dessert.

 

And had a bubble bath before bedtime.

K is for: Kindness, Kelson & Kohyn, Kisses + Kit Kat

Kindness makes all the difference when the boys are playing a game together.

Kelson and Kohyn came over for a playdate today.

And all of the kids enjoyed some Kit Kats and Kisses.

G is for: Grandma & Grandpa, Games, Game Park (Goats!), Grandma Barb, Garden + Green Beans

Bandon visit!

We started the morning off by playing a game.

We visited the Game Park.

Kason liked the goats.  Hinton, notsomuch.

Hinton did enjoy the animals he could look at when they were in an enclosure.

Kason is using his peacock "creature powers"
(from the show Wild Kratts on PBS, which teaches all about different animals)

Kason liked getting to pet the animal
(a baby tiger, bear, raccoon, fox, caracal and more!)

but Hinton wouldn't get close enough to try.

We also got to visit Grandma Barb!

And we checked on the green beans in the garden.
They're just starting to come up!

W is for: Wednesday, Waffles, Wes Bennett Park, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

Hinton insisted that "W Day" should be on a Wednesday.
Which, of course, makes perfect sense.

We had waffles for lunch.

Played at Wes Bennett park.

Watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, 

and even ate some Wonka candy!

H is for: no Handprint, "Hike", Helper, Hanging Out, Hamburgers, Hats & Heroes!

We went to the Saturday Market this morning.  We wanted to get a father/kiddo hand print for Kason like the one on the right of Brandon and Hinton.  Unfortunately, the hand print gal wasn't at the Saturday Market this morning, so we'll have to try again another week.

Then we "hiked" across the bridge to West Salem . . .

 All the way to Taco Bell.

Helper Hinton asked if he could help me while I was scrubbing all the toilets today.  Really!

Just hanging out.

Had a hamburger.

Dressed as heroes and decorated hats (were supposed to be visors for v day
 a few days ago, but I didn't get my act together in time).
